🦠 Norovirus: What You Should Know & How to Get Through It
Norovirus is a very contagious stomach virus that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. While it can come on quickly, the good news is that most people recover within a few days with proper care.
Tips to stay healthy and recover:
✔️ Wash hands often with soap and water
✔️ Stay hydrated—small sips of fluids are key
✔️ Rest and allow your body time to heal
✔️ Clean and disinfect surfaces frequently
✔️ Avoid preparing food for others while sick
If symptoms are severe, last more than a few days, or you’re concerned about dehydration, especially for young children or older adults, don’t wait.
